6 Ways to Organize Your Home in the New Year

Wednesday, November 29, 2017

As the New Year approaches, so do decisions about how we can make our lives better in every aspect. Though better home organization might not the very first thing on your list, there’s probably room for improvement in how you use your household’s potentials. Since this is the best time to think about changes you want to implement into your life, why not be imaginative with your home too? If you’re in need of inspiration, here are 6 ways to organize your home in the New Year.

Revamp Your Drawers

Let’s start with something that is very simple, yet very effective when it comes to better organizing and using spaces in your home. If your drawers are the playground of chaos where you just put stuff randomly, it’s time to change that. What’s best, it’s very easy to make this alteration and it will do you a ton of good.

Container organizers will help you deal with the clutter in your drawers in no time and you’ll finally know where everything is. Be sure to separate things you use every day from things that you only need occasionally. The benefits of this hack are twofold – first, you’ll go through all your drawers and throw out all you don’t need; second everything in the drawers will be much more accessible and easy to find.

Unknot Those Cords

The time is now! If you’ve got miles of cords knotted behind your TV set or your computer, you would do well to well to untangle them. If you’ve got pets or kids running around the house, this is even more important, but thankfully, there’s a quick trick to help you in this endeavor. Use old bread tags to mark which cable belongs to which piece of technology and you’re good to go.

When It Comes to Your Vanity Table

If you’ve got a lot of makeup and cosmetic products, then you know how tiresome it can be to find what you need when you’re in a hurry. One of the best things you can do to organize everything you use daily is to get a carousel shelf and stack it with your necessities. You get a clear overview of everything in it and it spins! If you’ve got a whole lot of nail polishes, use cookie jars to store them, it will take up less space and it looks pretty. Organize your lipsticks, eyeliners, and mascaras in little tin containers so that you can easily pick and choose what you want to wear today.

Have an Old-Things Bag in Your Closet

When was the last time you de-cluttered your closet? If you have to think about for more than three seconds, it’s been too long. We store all kinds of stuff in the backs of our closets and they do nothing else but take up space and gather dust. You have to clean the dust before it creates an unhealthy environment for your family. For that reason, have a duffle bag in your closet and use it to put in all the things that don’t fit anymore, are stained or you simply don’t like the way you look in them. This is a foolproof way to get rid of the things you don’t wear and organize your closet smartly.

New Use of File Folders

Feel free to think outside of the box when you’re organizing your home. File folders can be used for sorting different things, in this case, reusable shopping bags. We all have a bunch of those things lying around the house and there is a simple reason to store them all in one place. Buy a few file folders and use them to put bags in them. Everything will be in one spot, very easy to find and that is really all you need when it comes to organizing your home.

Set Your Priorities Straight

This may be the most difficult thing to do when you’re organizing your home. What we mean by setting your priorities straight is that you need to firmly decide what you truly need. Things, trinkets, clothes, appliances you basically never use – you need to get rid of those. Yes, we know you know, but do you really know? Because if you did, you’d understand how much space these never-used knickknacks are taking up and how much more cleaning you need to do because they’re lingering around.

You might need expert’s help to get this project of de-cluttering started, and thankfully there are many platforms like Helpling UK, that allow you to find a professional cleaner quickly and affordably. It’s wonderful to keep memories, but it’s crucial to set boundaries. Your home shouldn’t be a mish-mash of things, it should be organized so that it suits your needs best. So take a look at every little thing inside your home, decide if you truly needed and if not, out with it. Guaranteed, you will have bags upon bags of trash to throw out and that means you’re on a right track to make your house better than it ever was.
